GREELEY, Colo. — A boy is in critical condition after he was shot multiple times at a Greeley apartment complex Wednesday evening.
According to the Greeley Police Department, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 3700 block of 24th Street around 8:49 p.m. Wednesday for reports of a shooting. The 911 caller told officers the suspect had fled the scene after the shooting, the department said.
When officers arrived, they found a boy — only identified as a juvenile male — suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
